5 3 Using Integrated Architecture Builder (IAB) Integrated Architecture Builder is a graphical tool designed to help you configure and quote Logix-based control systems, including validation of DeviceNet cable power requirements. With IAB, you can build a control system using a wizard and other common Microsoft Windows tools such as tree views, drag-and-drop, and cut-copy-paste. IAB also allows you to open product manuals to help you configure a system. Once you configure the system, the software performs validity checking, and you can generate a report to be used in quoting the control system. Figure Preface.1 shows a sample of the IAB interface you use to build a system. Figure Preface.1 Integrated Architecture Builder You can select control platforms and components to build a system. IAB automatically verifies system validity.

11 Chapter 1 Get Started What s in This Chapter This chapter introduces the DeviceNet cable system and provides a brief overview of how to set up a DeviceNet network efficiently. The steps in this chapter describe the basic tasks involved in setting up a network. for information on this topic see page Before You Begin 1-2 Set Up a DeviceNet Network 1-4 Understand the Media 1-5 Terminate the Network 1-13 Supply Power 1-15 Ground the Network 1-22 Use the Checklist 1-24 TIP The catalog numbers listed in this document are representative of the full range of available DeviceNet media products. For a complete list of DeviceNet media, refer to the On-machine Connectivity Catalog, publication M115-CA001. 1

12 1-2 Get Started Before You Begin Before you begin laying out your DeviceNet network, take a few minutes to consider the following decisions you must make. 1. What control platform should I use? For help with choosing the correct control platform for the application, refer to Chapter 2 of the NetLinx Selection Guide, publication NETS-SG001. After selecting the control platform, use Chapter 2 of the NetLinx Selection Guide, publication NETS-SG001, to help you choose the DeviceNet communication interface for that platform. TIP Once you have selected all DeviceNet devices for your network, calculate the total data size required by the DeviceNet-networked devices. Compare the total data size required against the total amount available from the DeviceNet scanner module you have selected. 2. What I/O devices will I need? For help with choosing the correct I/O devices for the application, refer to Chapter 2 of the NetLinx Selection Guide, publication NETS-SG001. If you plan to hard-wire certain devices to I/O modules, calculate the total number of discrete I/O points, such as sensors, photoeyes, etc., in your application. TIP All DeviceNet-capable devices require a unique network node number, which counts against the total node count of 63. If the I/O points are standard discrete versions, they will be connected to t he DeviceNet network via a discrete I/O-to-DeviceNet adapter. In this case, only the I/O adapter would require a network node number, allowing you to connect multiple I/O points with one adapter. Calculate the total required analog I/O channels. Calculate the total I/O points being brought into I/O modules versus direct connections to the network. Decide which type of discrete I/O you will use in your application: sealed (such as FLEXArmor or MaXum), or open-style (typically contained in enclosures).

13 Get Started 1-3 Decide whether to use DeviceLogix /EE-capable I/O to run internal, programmable logic within the actual devices for fast execution rates. Document the data table requirements for each node. This information will help you develop the control platform user program. 3. What type of network media is best for my application? For help in determining which media best fits your application, refer to the following publications: for media characteristics and specifications guidelines for wiring and grounding your network refer to DeviceNet Media, Sensors, and Distributed I/O Catalog, publication 1485-CG001 On-machine Connectivity Catalog, publication M115-CA001 Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, publication Determine whether you need a Class 1 or Class 2 cabling system. Choose sealed or unsealed media for your application s environment. Choose the maximum trunk length allowable within specifications for the cable type and communication baud rate. Ensure that your cumulative cable drop length is within specifications for the network baud rate. Ensure that all individual drop line lengths are </= 20 ft. (6m). Ensure that you have one 121Ω terminating resistor at each end of the trunk line. 4. Which power supply will be adequate for my application? Refer to this publication for further details on selecting a power supply. 5. How do I configure my network? You can use RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software to generate an offline configuration file which contains all the I/O mapping for your system. This file will help you develop a control platform user

14 1-4 Get Started program. Refer to the online help accompanying RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software for assistance in adding and configuring devices. Once you have added devices, use either RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software or the device s hardware mechanism to commission a node for that device. Use RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software to create and download a scanlist to the master scanner. 6. How do I check system performance?

TR TR You must terminate the trunk line at both ends with 121Ω, 1%, 1/4W or larger terminating resistors. trunk line drop line device or node TR = terminating resistor 41826

16 1-6 Get Started Understand the cable options All Allen-Bradley media, including KwikLink, meets or exceeds the specifications defined in the ODVA DeviceNet Specification. You can connect components using three cable options. Use this cable Round (thick) Round (thin) Flat Class 1 power supplies allow for an 8A system and the use of Class 1 flat cable. Class 2 flat cable must not exceed 4A. KwikLink drop cable Unshielded drop cable As the trunk line on the DeviceNet network with an outside diameter of 12.2 mm (0.48 in.). You can also use this cable for drop lines. the drop line connecting devices to the main line with an outside diameter of 6.9 mm (0.27 in.). This cable has a smaller diameter and is more flexible than thick cable. You can also use this cable for the trunk line. the trunk line on the DeviceNet network, with dimensions of 19.3 mm x 5.3 mm (0.76 in. x 0.21 in.). This cable has no predetermined cord lengths, and you are free to put connections wherever you need them. a non-shielded, 4-conductor drop cable for use only in KwikLink systems. a non-shielded, 4-conductor drop cable (with an outside diameter specified by the vendor) for use only in flat cable systems

17 Get Started 1-7 Determine the maximum trunk line distance The maximum cable distance is not necessarily the trunk length only. It is the maximum distance between any two devices. Wire Color Wire Identity Usage Round Usage Flat white CAN_H signal signal blue CAN_L signal signal bare drain shield n/a black V- power power red V+ power power TIP Round cable (both thick and thin) contains five wires: One twisted pair (red and black) for 24V dc power, one twisted pair (blue and white) for signal, and a drain wire (bare). Flat cable contains four wires: One pair (red and black) for 24V dc power; one pair (blue and white) for signal. Drop cable for KwikLink is a 4-wire unshielded gray cable. It is used only with KwikLink flat cable systems. The distance between any two points must not exceed the maximum cable distance allowed for the data rate used. Data rate Maximum distance (flat cable) Maximum distance (thick cable) Maximum distance (thin cable) 125k bit/s 420m (1378 ft) 500m (1640 ft) 100m (328 ft) 250k bit/s 200m (656 ft) 250m (820 ft) 100m (328 ft) 500k bit/s 75m (246 ft) 100m (328 ft) 100m (328 ft)

18 1-8 Get Started In most cases, the maximum distance should be the measurement between terminating resistors. However, if the distance from a trunk line tap to the farthest device connected to the trunk line is greater than the distance from the tap to the nearest terminating resistor (TR), then you must include the drop line length as part of the cable length. Measure the distance between the terminating resistors. TR D tap Always use the longest distance between any 2 nodes of the network. D tap D tap D drop 1m (3.281 ft) tap D 3m (9.843 ft) TR D If the distance from the TR to the last tap is greater than the distance of the drop, then measure from the TR. Measure both drops and across the trunk. 3m (9.843 ft) 3m (9.843 ft) TR D tap tap tap tap tap TR D D drop 5m ( ft) D D D drop 5m ( ft) D If the distance from the TR to the last tap is less than the distance of the drop, measure from the device TIP To extend the length of your network and allow longer drop line lengths, you can purchase a bus extender or wireless DeviceNet modem from various vendors, such as Western Reserve Controls, one of Rockwell Automation s Encompass partners. Contact your Rockwell Automation representative for details.

19 Get Started 1-9 Determine the cumulative drop line length The data rate you choose determines the trunk line length and the cumulative length of the drop line. The cumulative drop line length refers to the sum of all drop lines, thick or thin cable, in the cable system. This sum cannot exceed the maximum cumulative length allowed for the data rate used. The maximum cable distance from any device on a branching drop line to the trunk line is 6m (20 ft). Data rate 125k bit/s 250k bit/s 500k bit/s Cumulative drop line length 156m (512 ft) 78m (256 ft) 39m (128 ft) The following example uses four T-Port (single-port) taps and two DevicePort (multi-port) taps to attach 13 devices to the trunk line. The cumulative drop line length is 42m (139 ft) and no single node is more than 6m (20 ft) from the trunk line. This allows you to use a data rate of 250k bit/s or 125k bit/s. A data rate of 500k bit/s cannot be used in this example because the cumulative drop line length (42m) exceeds the total allowed (39m) for that data rate. TR TR 2m (6.6) 4m (13 ft) 1m (3.3 ft) 2m(6.6 ft) 4m (13 ft) DevicePort tap (4 ports) = trunk line = drop line = device or node TR = terminating resistor 3m (10 ft) 3m (10 ft) 2m (6.6 ft) 3m (10 ft) DevicePort tap (8 ports) 3m (10 ft) 2m (6.6 ft) 1m (3.3 ft) 3m (10 ft) 5m (16 ft) 4m (13 ft) 41853

20 1-10 Get Started Wire Color Wire Identity Usage Round Usage Flat white CAN_H signal signal blue CAN_L signal signal bare drain shield n/a black V- power power red V+ power power About direct connection Connect devices directly to the trunk line only if you can later remove the devices without disturbing communications on the cable system.this is called a zero-length drop, because it adds nothing (zero) when calculating cumulative drop line length. IMPORTANT If a device provides only fixed-terminal blocks for its connection, you must connect it to the cable system by a drop line. Doing this allows you to remove the device at the tap without disturbing communications on the trunk line of the cable system. About connectors Connectors attach cables to devices or other components of the DeviceNet cable system. Field-installable connections are made with either sealed or open connectors. device with removable open-style connector device with fixed, open-style connector Connector Sealed Open Description Mini-style: Attaches to taps and thick and thin cable. Micro-style: Attaches to thin cable only - has a reduced current rating. Plug-in: Cable wires attach to a removable connector.

23 Get Started Terminate the Network TR TR The terminating resistor reduces reflections of the communication signals on the network. Choose your resistor based on the type of cable (round or flat) and connector (open or sealed) you use. For round cable: the resistor may be sealed when the end node uses a sealed T-port tap the resistor may be open when the end node uses an open-style tap For flat cable: To verify the resistor connection, disconnect power and measure the resistance across the Can_H and Can_L lines (blue and white wires, respectively). This reading should be approximately 50-60Ω. Do not put a terminating resistor on a node with a non-removable connector. If you do so, you risk network failure if you remove the node. You must put the resistor at the end of the trunk line. the resistor is a snap-on cap for the KwikLink connector base, available in sealed and unsealed versions You must attach a terminating resistor of 121Ω, 1%, 1/4W or larger, to each end of the trunk cable. You must connect these resistors directly across the blue and white wires of the DeviceNet cable. ATTENTION If you do not use terminating resistors as described, the DeviceNet cable system will not operate properly. The following terminating resistors provide connection to taps and the trunk line. sealed-style terminating resistors.

25 Get Started 1-15 Guidelines for supplying power 3 Supply Power power supply The cable system requires the power supply to have a rise time of less than 250 milliseconds to within 5% of its rated output voltage. You should verify the following: Use the power supply to power the DeviceNet cable system only. If a device requires a separate 24V power source other than the DeviceNet power source, you should use an additional 24V power source. Trunk DN PS drop node node power the power supply has its own current limit protection fuse protection is provided for each segment of the cable system any section leading away from a power supply must have protection the power supply is sized correctly to provide each device with its required power derate the supply for temperature using the manufacturer s guidelines IMPORTANT For thick cable and Class 2 flat cable, your national and local codes may not permit the full use of the power system capacity. For example, in the United States and Canada, the power supplies that you use with Class 2 thick cable must be Class 2 listed per the NEC and CECode. The total current allowable in any section of thick cable must not exceed 4A. Class 1 power supplies allow for an 8A system, and the use of Class 1 flat cable. See Appendix A for more information about national and local codes. Appendix B, Power Output Devices, provides important information to the installer. Choose a power supply The total of all of the following factors must not exceed 3.25% of the nominal 24V needed for a DeviceNet cable system. initial power supply setting % line regulation % temperature drift % (total) time drift % load regulation %

26 1-16 Get Started Use a power supply that has current limit protection as described in national codes such as NEC, Article 725. IMPORTANT The dc output of all supplies must be isolated from the ac side of the power supply and the power supply case. To determine the required power supply current: 1. Add the current requirements of all devices drawing power from the network. For example: 6.3A 2. Add an additional 10% to this total to allow for current surge. e.g. 6.3A x 10% = 6.93A 3. Make sure the total of 2 is less than the minimum name-plate current of the power supply you are using. e.g. 6.3A < 8A and NEC/CECode If you use a single power supply, add the current requirements of all devices drawing power from the network. This is the minimum name-plate current rating that the power supply should have. We recommend that you use the Allen-Bradley 24V dc power supply (catalog number 1787-DNPS) to comply with the Open DeviceNet Vendor Association (ODVA) power supply specifications and NEC/CECode Class 2 characteristics (if applicable). About power ratings Although the round thick cable and Class 1 flat cable are both rated to 8A, the cable system can support a total load of more than 8A. For example, a 16A power supply located somewhere in the middle of the cable system can supply 8A to both sides of the PowerTap. It can handle very large loads as long as no more than 8A is drawn through any single segment of the trunk line. However, cable resistance may limit your application to less than 8A. Drop lines, thick or thin, are rated to a maximum of 3A, depending on length. The maximum current decreases as the drop line length increases. Drop line length Allowable current 1.5m (5 ft) 3A 2m (6.6 ft) 2A 3m (10 ft) 1.5A 4.5m (15 ft) 1A 6m (20 ft) 0.75A You may also determine the maximum current in amps (I) by using: I = 15/L, where L is the drop line length in feet I = 4.57/L, where L is the drop line length in meters

27 Get Started 1-17 The maximum allowable current applies to the sum of currents for all nodes on the drop line. As shown in the example on page Page 1-7, the drop line length refers to the maximum cable distance from any node to the trunk line, not the cumulative drop line length. high maximum common mode voltage drop on the V- (black) and V+ (red) conductors the voltage difference between any two points on the V- conductor must not exceed the maximum common mode voltage of 4.65V voltage range between V- and V+ at each node within 11 to 25V Size a power supply Follow the example below to help determine the minimum continuous current rating of a power supply servicing a common section. power supply 1 152m (500 ft) 122m (400 ft) power supply 2 30m (100 ft) 60m (200 ft) 30m (100 ft) 122m (400 ft) TR PT T T PT T T T TR TR = terminating resistor T = T-Port tap PT = PowerTap tap D = device D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 1.50A 1.05A 0.25A 1.00A 0.10A break V+ (red wire) here to separate both halves of the network Power supply 1 Add each device s (D1, D2) DeviceNet current draw together for power supply 1 ( =2.55A) Results 2.55A is the minimum name-plate current rating that power supply 1 should have. Remember to consider any temperature or environmental derating recommended by the manufacturer. IMPORTANT This derating factor typically does not apply when you consider the maximum short circuit current allowed by the national and local codes.

28 1-18 Get Started Power supply 2 Add each device s (D3, D4, D5) current together for power supply 2 ( =1.35A). Results 1.35A is the minimum name-plate current rating that power supply 2 should have. Remember to consider any temperature or environmental derating recommended by the manufacturer. Place the power supply DeviceNet networks with long trunk lines or with devices on them that draw large currents at a long distance sometimes experience difficulty with common mode voltage. If the voltage on the black V- conductor differs by more than 4.65 volts from one point on the network to another, communication problems can occur. Moreover, if the voltage between the black V- conductor and the red V+ conductor ever falls below 15 volts, then common mode voltage could adversely affect network communication. To work around these difficulties, add an additional power supply or move an existing power supply closer to the heavier current loads. If possible, power supplies should be located at the middle of the network to shorten the distance from the power supply to the end of the network. To determine if you have adequate power for the devices in your cable system, use the look-up method which we describe more fully in Chapter 4. See the following example and figure (other examples follow in Chapter 4). You have enough power if the total load does not exceed the value shown by the curve or the table. In a worst-case scenario, all of the nodes are assumed to be together at the opposite end of the power supply, which draws all current over the longest distance IMPORTANT This method may underestimate the total current capacity of your network by as much as 4 to 1. See Chapter 4 to use the full-calculation method if your supply does not fit under the curve.

29 Get Started 1-19 A sample curve for a single, end-connected power supply is shown on the next page. Figure 1.1 One Power Supply (End Segment) KwikLink Cable (Flat) Current (amperes) NEC/CE Code Maximum Current Limit Length of trunk line, meters (feet) Network Length m (ft) Maximum Current (A) Network Length m (ft) Maximum Current (A) 0 (0) 8.00 * 20 (66) 8.00 * 40 (131) 7.01 * 60 (197) 4.72 * 80 (262) (328) (394) (459) (525) (591) (656) (722) (787) (853) (919) (984) (1050) (1115) (1181) (1247) (1312) (1378) 0.69 Exceeds NEC CL2/CECode 4A limit. IMPORTANT This configuration assumes all nodes are at the opposite end of the cable from the power supply.

30 1-20 Get Started The following example uses the look-up method to determine the configuration for one end-connected power supply. One end-connected power supply provides as much as 8A near the power supply.

Add each device s current together to find the total current consumption = 0.65A IMPORTANT Make sure that the required power is less than the rating of the power supply. You may need to derate the supply if it is in an enclosure. 3. Find the next largest network length using the table on page 1-19 to determine the approximate maximum current allowed for the system. 120m (2.47A) Results Since the total current does not exceed the maximum allowable current, the system will operate properly (0.65A 2.47A). IMPORTANT If your application doesn t fit under the curve, you may either: Do the full-calculation method described in Chapter 4. Move the power supply to somewhere in the middle of the cable system and reevaluate as described in the previous section.

31 Get Started 1-21 Connect power supplies To supply power you will need to install and ground the power supplies. To install a power supply: ATTENTION Make sure the ac power source remains off during installation. 1. Mount the power supply securely allowing for proper ventilation, connection to the ac power source, and protection from environmental conditions according to the specifications for the supply. 2. Connect the power supply using: a cable that has one pair of 12 AWG(4mm 2 ) conductors or the equivalent or two pairs of 15 AWG (2.5mm 2 ) conductors a maximum cable length of 3m (10 ft) to the power tap the manufacturer s recommendations for connecting the cable to the supply Metric sizes are for reference only. Select a wire size big enough for the maximum current.

32 1-22 Get Started 4 Ground the Network power supply You must ground the DeviceNet network at only one location. Follow the guidelines described below. ATTENTION To prevent ground loops, For Round media - Ground the V- conductor, shield, and drain wire at only one place. For Flat media - Ground the V- conductor at only one place. Do this at the power supply connection that is closest to the physical center of the network to maximize the performance and minimize the effect of outside noise. Make this grounding connection using a 25 mm (1 in.) copper braid or a #8 AWG wire up to a maximum 3m (10 ft) in length. If you use more than one power supply, the V- conductor of only one power supply should be attached to an earth ground. If you connect multiple power supplies, V+ should be broken between the power supplies. Each power supply s chassis should be connected to the common earth ground. To ground the network: Connect the network shield and drain wire to an earth or building ground using a 25 mm (1 in.) copper braid or a 8 AWG(10mm 2 ) wire up to 3m (10 ft) maximum in length. Make this ground connection using a 25mm (1 in.) copper braid or an 8 AWG (10mm 2 ) wire up to3 m (10 ft) maximum in length. If you use more than one power supply, the V- conductor of only one power supply should be attached to an earth ground. ATTENTION For a non-isolated device, be certain that additional network grounding does not occur when you mount the device or make external connections to it. Check the device manufacturer s instructions carefully for grounding information.

34 1-24 Get Started 5 Use the Checklist Use this checklist when you install the DeviceNet network. You should complete this checklist prior to applying power to your network. Total device network current draw does not exceed power supply current limit. Common mode voltage drop does not exceed limit. Number of DeviceNet nodes does not exceed 64 on one network. The practical limit on DeviceNet nodes may be 61 devices since you should allow one node each for the scanner, the computer interface module, and an open node at node 63.* No single drop over 6m (20 ft). Cumulative drop line budget does not exceed network baud rate limit. Total network trunk length does not exceed the maximum allowable per the network data rate. One 121Ω, 1%, 1/4W or larger terminating resistor is at each end of the trunk line. Ground at only one location, preferably in the center of the network V- connector for flat media V- connector drain and shield for round media All connections are inspected for loose wires or coupling nuts. No opens or shorts. Proper terminating resistors.

35 Get Started 1-25 Spacing of DeviceNet cable from ac conductors, as specified in publication Both the programmable controller and DeviceNet scanner module are in run mode. IMPORTANT * Devices default to node 63. Leave node 63 open to avoid duplicate node addresses when adding devices. Change the default node address after installation. IMPORTANT If your DeviceNet system does not run properly, see the scanner module s display and network and status LEDs for help in troubleshooting.

In the event that the blades do not retract easily (or retract only partially), verify that the IDC screws are not partially driven. keyed edge is toward the latch latch M

71 Make Cable Connections Close the hinged assembly, applying pressure until the latch locks into place. IMPORTANT The latch has two catches. The first catch loosely holds the connector on the cable. The second catch needs more pressure applied to close the connector tightly. If the cable is not in the correct position, the connector will not close M 3. Make sure the cable is straight before moving on to step four M ATTENTION You must make sure the cable is straight before tightening the screws. Improper seating of the cable may cause a weak seal and impede IP67 requirements. A mis-aligned cable may also cause shorts due to the mis-registration of the IDC contacts. 4. Tighten down the two screws at the center points of the hinge and latch sides of the base; tighten down the latch side first. IMPORTANT Take care to avoid stripping the screws. Ample torque should be 5.56 N (15 in-lbs). 5. Mount the base to the panel by driving screws through the corner holes not containing the metal inserts.

Ample torque should be 5.56 N (15 in-lbs). The module should not be removed after connection is made. Determine the exact placement of the connector before engaging the IDC contacts. ATTENTION Once the IDC contacts are driven into the cable, the module should not be removed. Connectors are single-use only and cannot be removed or re-used M 7. Follow these guidelines for installing the connectors: We recommend you only install the connectors at temperatures of 0 C to 75 C. Make sure the cable is free of debris or scratches before attaching the connector to ensure a proper seal. The recommended distance between mounts is 3-5 m (10-16 ft). To mount flat cable, use flat cable mount 1485A-FCM. When running cable into an enclosure, use flat cable gland 1485A-CAD. Connectors are designed for single use and cannot be reused. Once installed, connectors should not be removed from the trunkline.

73 Make Cable Connections Line up the keyed rectangular holes of the micro/open/terminator connection interface with the matching posts on the base and snap the micro module into place. Optional: Secure the micro/open/terminator module by driving an 8-32 x 1-3/4 screw through each of the two remaining mounting holes. TIP When using the cable in applications with a large amount of flexing, secure the cable to a fixed reference point, using an 8-32 x 1-3/4 screw through each of the two remaining mounting holes.

79 Chapter 4 Determine Power Requirements In this chapter, we describe two methods for determining your system s power requirements: the look-up method the full calculation method Try the look-up method first, then move on to the full calculation method if you cannot meet your configuration requirements. IMPORTANT You must consider two areas when powering output devices using the DeviceNet power supply: (1) Wide DeviceNet voltage range of 11-25V dc (2) Noise or transient protection at each device You must calculate a worst-case situation, and maintain voltage within the 11-25V dc range on all segments. This can be accomplished using diodes or other similar techniques. See Appendix B, Powering Output Devices, for more information. Class 1 (CL1) cable Per NEC specifications for a Class 1 circuit (see NEC Article 725), the energy at any point in the circuit is limited to 1000 VA. A Class 1 circuit requires that the cables used must have jacketing with 600V isolation and pass the CL1 burn test. The DeviceNet specification indicates that the power source must be a regulated maximum of 24V dc, and the power circuit be limited to 8A. Applying this to a Class 1 circuit running at 24V dc, a DeviceNet-certified cable with a 600V jacket isolation rating meets all requirements to be used in a Class 1 circuit. So, based on the DeviceNet specification, the cable s powercarrying conductors are sized for an 8A maximum load. 1

80 4-2 Determine Power Requirements Class 2 (CL2) Cable Per NEC specifications for a Class 2 circuit (see NEC Article 725), the energy in the circuit anywhere is limited to 100 VA and the cable s jacketing must have a 300V minimum isolation rating. Based on a 30V dc system, your circuit would be limited to 3.3A. The DeviceNet specification indicates the power source be a maximum of 24V dc. Applying this to a Class 2 circuit running at 24V dc, the maximum allowable current is 4A. A DeviceNet-certified cable with a 300V jacket isolation rating meets all requirements for use in a Class 2 circuit. So, based on the DeviceNet specification, the cable s power carrying conductors are sized for a 8A maximum load. The current Allen-Bradley Thick cable power conductors are sized to handle at least 8 amps of power. However, NEC and CEC regulations force this cable to be a CL2 (100 VA, 4 amp max) cable due to the construction of the cable. Specifically, the insulation on the data pair is a foam PE, which will not pass at CL1 burn test. As a result, any system using a Thick trunk and Thin drop must be a CL2 installation in US and Canada. KwikLink trunk cable is rated for CL1 applications and the conductors can carry 8 amps of power.for more information, see Appendix A. The DeviceNet specifications provide for both open- and closed-style wiring terminations. You can design a wiring system for a DeviceNet installation that lays out a trunk line in accordance with the requirements of the Class 1 guidelines and uses drop lines in accordance with Class 2 guidelines. Care must be taken at the point where the two guidelines meet. At that point you must limit the energy on each wire to be in accordance with the NEC guidelines. Energy in the drop line must be limited to no more that 100 VA. How you accomplish that is your decision. Most people resolve this issue by isolating the trunk from the drop line with different power sources. Other ways to limit energy may give you the same protection.

81 Determine Power Requirements 4-3 Use the Look-up Method To determine if you have adequate power for the devices in your cable system, see the following examples and figures. You have enough power if the total load does not exceed the value shown by the curve or the table. In a worst-case scenario, all of the nodes are together at the opposite end of the power supply TIP This method may underestimate the capacity of your network by as much as 4 to 1. See the following section to use the full-calculation method if your supply does not fit under the curve. For this configuration example Flat cable uses figure Thick Thin cable cable uses uses figure figure One power supply (end-connected) Figure 4.2 Figure 4.1 Figure 4.7 One power supply (middle-connected) Figure 4.2 Figure 4.1 Figure 4.7 NEC/CECode current boost configuration (V+ Figure 4.2 Figure 4.1 Figure 4.7 cut) Two power supplies (end-connected) Figure 4.6 Figure 4.5 * Two power supplies (not end-connected) Figure 4.4 Figure 4.3 * * You can draw as much as 3A from a thin cable trunk line if the power supply separation is below 70m (230 ft).

90 4-12 Determine Power Requirements Results Since the total current does not exceed the maximum allowable current, the system will operate properly (0.65A 2.47A). IMPORTANT If your application doesn t fit under the curve, you may either: do the full-calculation method described later in this chapter, or move the power supply to somewhere in the middle of the cable system and reevaluate per the following section One power supply (middle-connected) The following example uses the look-up method to determine the configuration for one middle-connected power supply. One middle-connected power supply provides the maximum current capability for a single supply. power section 1 supply section 2 122m (400 ft) 91m (300 ft) 37m (120 ft) 49m (160 ft) TR T T T PT T T T TR D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 D6 1.10A 1.25A 0.50A 0.25A 0.25A 0.25A TR = terminating resistor T = T-Port tap PT = PowerTap tap D = device Add each device s current together in section = 2.85A 2.

91 Determine Power Requirements 4-13 Section 2 = 140m (2.14A) IMPORTANT Section 1 + Section 2 < 3.6A. This is < 4A for NEC/CECode compliance. Results Section 1 is overloaded because the total current exceeds the maximum current (2.85A > 2.14A). Section 2 is operational since the total current does not exceed the maximum current (0.75A < 2.14A). Balance the system by moving the power supply toward the overloaded section (section 1). Then recalculate each section.

This is < 4A for NEC/CECode compliance. However, if due to derating of the power supply, you used a power supply larger than 4A, you would exceed the NEC/CECode maximum allowable current. Results Section 1 is operational since the total current does not exceed the maximum current (2.85A < 2.93A). Section 2 is operational since the total current does not exceed the maximum current (0.75A < 1.89A).

93 Determine Power Requirements 4-15 Adjusting the configuration To make the system operational, you can: move the power supply in the direction of the overloaded section move higher current loads as close to the supply as possible move devices from the overloaded section to another section shorten the overall length of the cable system perform the full-calculation method for the segment described later in this chapter for the non-operational section add a second power supply to the cable system (do this as a last resort) as shown in the following three examples NEC/CECode current boost configuration If the national or local codes limit the maximum rating of a power supply, use the following configuration to replace a single, higher current power supply. power supply 15 m (50 ft) 30 m (100 ft) 244 m (800 ft) 122 m (400 ft) TR PT T T T T TR D1 D2 D3 1.0A 0.50A 0.50A D4 0.25A TR = terminating resistor T = T-Port tap PT = Power Tap D = device M This configuration effectively doubles the available current. Essentially, each segment is independent of the other and is a one power supply end-connected system. Use Figure 4.5 on page 4-8 for each segment. Each power supply can be rated up to 4A and still meet NEC/CECode Class 2 current restrictions.

94 4-16 Determine Power Requirements. IMPORTANT To use this configuration, you must make the following PowerTap tap modifications: place no loads between the PowerTap taps remove fuses between the two PowerTap taps to segment the V+ conductor in the trunk line between the taps cut V+ (red) flush with cable jacket Wire Color Wire identity Use white CAN_H signal blue CAN_L signal bare drain shield black V- power red V+ power trunk line CAN_H CAN_L drain V- V+ V+ V- remove these fuses V- V+ power supply ground power supply Two power supplies (end-connected) in parallel with no V+ break The following example uses the look-up method to determine the configuration for two end-connected power supplies. You must use diodes at the power taps to prevent back-feeding of the power supplies. Check your national and local codes for any restrictions on the use of parallel power supplies. The NEC/CECode requires that the power supplies must be listed for parallel operation.

Add each device s current together to find the total current = 2.20A 3. Find the value next largest to each section s length using Figure 4.5 on page 4-8 to determine the approximate maximum current allowed for each section. 280m (3.96A) Results Since the total current does not exceed the maximum current, the system will operate properly (2.20A 3.96A).

96 4-18 Determine Power Requirements Two Power supplies (not end-connected) in parallel with no V+ break The following example uses the look-up method to determine the configuration for two power supplies that are not end-connected. This configuration provides the most power to the cable system. You must use diodes at the power taps to prevent back-feeding of the power supplies. Check your national and local codes for any restrictions on the use of parallel power supplies. section m (800 ft) power supply section m (800 ft) 122 m (400 ft) 30 m (100 ft) 60 m (200 ft) 122 m (400 ft) TR T T T PT T T T TR D3 D2 D1 D4 D5 D6 0.25A 0.25A 0.25A 0.25A 1.5A 0.5A TR = terminating resistor T = T-Port tap PT = Power Tap D = device M 1. Determine the trunk line length of one end section (for this example we will use section 3). 122m 2. Add each device s current together in section = 1.55A

97 Determine Power Requirements Find the value next largest to the length of section 3 using Figure 4.3 on page 4-6 to determine the approximate maximum current allowed (approximately). 140m (3.40A) IMPORTANT If the total current in the section exceeds the maximum current, move the power supply closer to the end and repeat steps 1-3 until the total current in the section is less than the maximum allowable current. Results Since the total current does not exceed the maximum current, section 3 will operate properly (1.55A 3.40A). Loading is 46% (1.55/3.40). 4. Determine the trunk line length of the other end section (section 1). 76m 5. Add each device s current together in section A 6. Find the value next largest to the length of section 1 using Figure 4.1 on page 4-4 to determine the approximate maximum current allowed. 80m (3.59A) IMPORTANT If the total current in the section exceeds the maximum current, move the power supply closer to the end and repeat steps 4-6 until the total current in the section is less than the maximum allowable current. Results Since the total current does not exceed the maximum current, section 1 will operate properly (2.25A 3.59A). Loading is 63% (2.25/3.59). 7. Determine the length of the middle section (section 2). 274m 8. Add each device s current together in section = 3.50A

98 4-20 Determine Power Requirements 9. Find the value next largest to the length of section 2 using Figure 4.3 on page 4-6 to determine the approximate maximum current allowed. 280m (7.69A) IMPORTANT If the total current in the section exceeds the maximum current, move the power supplies closer together and repeat steps 7-9 until the total current in the section is less than the maximum allowable current. Results Since the total current does not exceed the maximum allowable current, section 2 will operate properly (3.50A 7.69A). Loading is 46% (3.50/7.69). If the middle section is still overloaded after you move the power supplies closer together, add a third power supply. Then recalculate each segment. IMPORTANT Section 1 + Section 2 + Section 3 = 7.3A. This is > 4A and does not comply with the NEC/CECode for Class 2 installations. IMPORTANT To determine spare capacity for future expansion, subtract the actual current from the maximum allowable current. To determine the percentage loading for each segment, divide the maximum allowable current into the actual current. Segment Maximum Current - Actual Current = Spare Capacity % Loading/Segment A A= 0.60A 79% (2.25A/2.85A) A A= 0.33A 91% (3.50A/3.83A) A A= 0.15A 91% (1.55A/1.70A) Use the Full-calculation Method Use the full-calculation method if your initial evaluation indicates that one section is overloaded or if the requirements of your configuration cannot be met by using the look-up method. IMPORTANT Before constructing the cable system, repeat all calculations to avoid errors.

For example: when a device is the first one closest to the power supply, this number is 1 when a device has one device between it and the power supply, this number is 2 when 10 devices exist between the evaluated device and the power supply, this number is 11. For devices attached to a DeviceBox tap or DevicePort tap, treat the tap as one tap. The currents for all devices attached to one of these taps should be summed and used with the equation only once. (0.005) The nominal-contact resistance used for every connection to the trunk line. I n I = The current drawn from the cable system by the device.for currents within 90% of the maximum, use the nominal device current. Otherwise, use the maximum rated current of the device. For DeviceBox taps or DevicePort taps, sum the currents of all the attached devices, and count the tap as one tap. n = The number of a device being evaluated, starting with one for the device closest to the power supply and increasing by one for the next device. 4.65V The maximum voltage drop allowed on the DeviceNet trunk line. This is the total cable system voltage drop of 5.00V minus 0.35V reserved for drop line voltage drop.

100 4-22 Determine Power Requirements One power supply (end-connected) Example using thick cable The following example uses the full calculation method to determine the configuration for one end-connected power supply on a thick cable trunk line. Device 1 and Device 2 cause the same voltage drop but Device 2 is twice as far from the power supply and draws half as much current. Device 4 draws the least amount of current but it is furthest from the power supply and causes the greatest incremental voltage drop. power supply 15 m (50 ft) 30 m (100 ft) 244 m (800 ft) 122 m (400 ft) TR PT T T T T TR D1 D2 D3 1.0A 0.50A 0.50A D4 0.25A TR = terminating resistor T = T-Port tap PT = Power Tap D = device M 1.

Add each device s voltage together to find the total voltage. 0.23V V V V = 2.28V Results Since the total voltage does not exceed 4.65V, the system will operate properly (2.28V < 4.65V). The percent loading is found by dividing the total voltage by 4.65V. %Loading = 2.28/4.65 = 49%

Add each device s voltage together to find the total voltage for section = 4.76V Results Since the total voltage in section 2 exceeds 4.65V, the system will not operate properly (4.76V > 4.65V). Attempt to correct this overload by moving the power supply 91m (300ft) toward the overloaded section. Now there are four devices in section 1 and two devices in section 2.

104 4-26 Determine Power Requirements Notes:

105 Chapter 5 Correct and Prevent Network Problems Use this chapter if you are experiencing problems with network operation. In this chapter, we tell you how to locate and correct problems associated with improper system design. ATTENTION Verify that all devices on the network have been certified by the Open DeviceNet Vendor Association (ODVA), and carry the DeviceNet Conformance Check on their nameplate. General Troubleshooting Tips Observe the following general tips when troubleshooting your DeviceNet network. Distinguish, as soon as possible, a device problem from a media problem. Try to isolate the problem by removing nodes, drop lines, taps, or trunk lines. Use RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software and the 1770-KFD or 1784-PCD communication interfaces to identify the functioning nodes on the network. Refer to the documentation that shipped with your DeviceNet scanner for an explanation of DeviceNet scanner status/error codes. Refer to the documentation shipped with your DeviceNet-enabled device for an explanation of the device s network LED. When troubleshooting a particular portion of the network, you can substitute known good devices, cables, connectors, etc. for bad ones until you isolate the problem. If you suspect a media problem, always inspect the media first. Verify lengths, topology, and proper termination. 1

106 5-2 Correct and Prevent Network Problems Use Rockwell Automation s Media Checker (catalog number 1788-MCHKR; available from your local Rockwell Automation distributor) to test network problems that result from miswiring, loose connections, opens or shorts. Be careful when setting network addresses and baud rates. Incorrectly set addresses or baud rates will cause other nodes to appear to be bad. Pressing the reset button on the scanner does not reset the network Cycling power to the rack does not reset the network Cycling network power could cause the scanner to go bus off. In this state, nodes will not re-allocate, even if they are functioning correctly. If, after you replace a node that has gone bus off, the problem persists, the problem is not the node itself. Rather, the problem could be the address or baud rate setting, or a network topology, grounding, or noise problem.

107 Correct and Prevent Network Problems 5-3 Diagnose Common Problems Use the following tips to diagnose and correct some of the most commonly occurring network problems. TIP Most devices have some type of status display, such as LEDs or alpha-numeric message displays. If any of your devices display error messages, refer to the documentation provided by the manufacturer to interpret the error codes. problem symptom do this common mode problems bus errors nodes near the end of the trunk line stop communicating after operating normally the network communicates only when the number of nodes is decreased or the trunk length is reduced properly configured slave devices are not detected by the scanner node operates intermittently (drops off suddenly and unexpectedly) LEDs or other displays indicate buss off errors check communications at the end of the network check common mode voltage move nodes from the overloaded section to the less-overloaded section shorten the overall length of the network cable move power supply in the direction of the overloaded section of the network move high-current nodes (e.g., valve banks) close to the power supply add a second power supply break the network into 2 separate networks Check that baud rates are set correctly. A device with an incorrectly set baud rate affects other nodes when the device attempts to go online. replace the suspected faulty device and re-check error rates check cables for intermittent operation by shaking, bending or twisting the suspected cable or connection and checking error rates

Use an oscilloscope or power disturbance analyzer to spot-check the cabling V- and shield wires these wires are properly connected and grounded. Break the shield to V- connection at the power supply and use an ohmmeter to verify resistance is less than 1MΩ with 24V dc removed. earth ground wire you are using the proper length and gauge CAN_L and CAN_H to shield and/or V- wires total current load trunk and drop line currents voltage at middle and ends of network lead dress at junction boxes connectors glands glands nodes physical media (prior to applying power) physical media no shorts are present. Use an ohmmeter to verify resistance is less than 1MΩ. the current load does not exceed the power supply rating you do not exceed recommended current limits voltage measures higher than 11V dc but lower than 25V dc. If voltage falls below 15V dc, a common mode problem may exist on the network.

Verify that all cables: are kept away from power wiring, as described in publication are not draped on electric motors, relays, contactors, solenoids, or other moving parts are not constrained so that cables place excessive tension on connectors connectors scanner connectors are properly installed and are tight. Wiggle connectors to check for intermittent failures. configuration is correct. 1. Verify the scanlist. 2. Check for correct: baud rate node addresses series/revision of the 1747/17711-SDN scanner 3. Cycle power to the 24V dc power supply to reset the scanner and initialize the network. Then examine scanner display codes to identify problem nodes. For a listing of scanner display codes, refer to the documentation shipped with your Rockwell Automation DeviceNet scanner. If you see the following at problem nodes, do this: Solid green (node is allocated by scanner) normal operation; do nothing Blinking green (node is not being allocated by the scanner) check that the node is in the scan list check that the scanner is not bus off ensure that the connection is not timing out Blinking red (no communication) check for missing power on all nodes check all nodes for proper connection to trunk or drop lines check for proper baud rate check scanner for a code 91, which means that communication with this node has errored out. To reset the scanner, cycle power to the 24V dc power supply. Solid red at power up (two nodes have the same address) Re-assign an available node address. Solid red at allocation (bus off) Check for proper baud rate. If node problems persist, do the following: replace T-tap check topology use an oscilloscope or power disturbance analyzer to check for electrical noise replace the node. Set the node address and baud rate on the replacement node, if necessary.

111 Correct and Prevent Network Problems 5-7 Use Terminating Resistors The DeviceNet network may operate unpredictably without terminating resistors installed at each end of the trunk cable. You can order terminating resistors, part number 1485A-C2, from your local Rockwell Automation distributor. To install terminating resistors: 1. Attach a 121Ω, 1%, 1/4W or larger terminating resistor at each end of the trunk cable, across the blue (CAN_H) and white (CAN_L) wires of the cable. 2. Verify resistor connection. a. Disconnect DeviceNet power. b. Measure the resistance across the blue (CAN_H) and white (CAN_L) wires of the cable. Resistance should equal approximately 50-60Ω. Resistance will approach 50Ω as more devices are connected to the network. Ground the Network You must ground the DeviceNet cable at only one location, closest to the center of the network. To ground the network: 1. Using an 8 AWG (10mm 2 ) wire up to a maximum of 3m (10 ft.) in length, connect the following: a. Connect the network shield and drain wires to an earth ground. b. Connect the V- conductor (black wire) of the trunk cable to an earth ground. c. Connect the DC ground of the power supply to an earth ground. Diagnose Power Supply Problems The DeviceNet network requires 24V dc power. Ensure that the power supply you are using meets the following requirements. The DeviceNet power supply must: be sized correctly to provide each device with its required power be rated 24V dc (+/- 1%) have its own current limit protection have a rise time of less than 250mS to within 5% of its rated output voltage

112 5-8 Correct and Prevent Network Problems When choosing a power supply, keep the following tips in mind: IMPORTANT We recommend that the DeviceNet power supply be used to power only the DeviceNet network. The thin wire trunk line is rated to 3A current flow. The thick wire trunk line is rated to 8A current flow. In North America, however, current is limited to 4A. You can install multiple power supplies on a DeviceNet network, but no section of cable should allow more current flow than that for which the trunk line is rated. If you install multiple power supplies on the network, break the red V+ wire between the power supplies to isolate one power supply from the other. On DeviceNet networks with multiple devices or extra long trunk lines, which result in drawing large currents at longer distances, common mode voltage can affect network operation. if voltage then so you should on the black V- wire differs from one point of the network to another by more than 4.65V communications problems could result between the red V+ wire and the black V- wire drops below 15V move an existing power supply closer to the heavier current loads add an additional power supply Verify Network Voltages The DeviceNet network communicates using a three-wire signal voltage differential among the CAN_H (white), CAN_L (blue), and V- (black) wires. DeviceNet messages consists of ones and zeros. A one is recessive, meaning that the difference in voltage between CAN_H and CAN_L should be as close to 0V as possible. A zero is dominant, meaning that the difference in voltage between CAN_H and CAN_L must be within certain limits when the zero bit is set. Out-of-range differential voltages can be caused by such factors as: opens or shorts in signal wires faulty devices (particularly transceivers) severe interference incorrect media To check for proper voltage, use a voltmeter in dc mode. Measure voltages at the DeviceNet scanner.

113 Correct and Prevent Network Problems 5-9 Table 5.2 lists nominal voltage readings. TIP Because the differential voltages are constantly shifting among the three wires, the voltages on your scope trace may differ from the nominal voltages shown in Table 5.2. These voltages assume no common mode effect on the V- and are for reference only. Table 5.2 Nominal DeviceNet voltage readings when a network master CAN_H to V- voltage should read CAN_L to V- voltage should read is not connected to the network between V dc between V dc is connected to, and is polling approximately 3.2V dc approximately 2.4V dc the network If voltages are too low If the CAN_H to V- and CAN_L to V- voltages are too low (less than 2.5V dc and 2.0V dc, respectively), the transceiver or wiring may be bad. To check the transceiver for proper operation: 1. Remove one DeviceNet node from the network. 2. Use an ohmmeter to check for resistance greater than 1MΩ between: V+ and CAN_HI V+ and CAN_LO V- and CAN_HI V- and CAN_LO

115 Appendix A Understand Select NEC Topics Be aware that the following topics from the National Electrical Code (NEC) 725 (revision 1999) impact the configuration and installation of DeviceNet systems in the United States. There also may be additional NEC sections and local codes that you must meet. Other codes exist outside of the United States that may also affect your installation. Specify Article 725 Topics Round (thick & thin) and Class 2 flat media Power limitations of Class 2 circuits The power source for Class 2 circuits must be either inherently limited, thus requiring no overcurrent protection, or limited by a combination of a power source and overcurrent protection. Marking Class 2 power supplies must be durably marked where plainly visible to indicate the class of the supply and its electrical ratings. Interconnection of power supplies Class 2 power supplies must not be paralleled or otherwise interconnected unless listed for such applications. Class 1 flat media Power limitations of Class 1 circuits The overcurrent protection shall not exceed 10 amperes per NEC article Consult the product manufacturer to determine if the device is suitable for installation with a Class 1 power source. 1

116 A-2 Understand Select NEC Topics Notes:

117 Appendix B Power Output Devices Use DeviceNet Power Supplies to Operate Output Devices You can power some output devices on the DeviceNet network. The application must allow the voltage to remain within the DeviceNet specification limits of 11-25V dc. Because most actuators usually require more power than is practically available from the DeviceNet network, they must be powered by a separate power supply. Also, the large voltage variation of 11-25V that DeviceNet allows is typically beyond the range over which most available actuators or output devices can safely operate. You can use DeviceNet power to operate output devices such as hydraulic and pneumatic solenoid valves, pilot and stack lights, and motor starter coils with the following caution: ATTENTION Do not let DeviceNet voltage at the relevant node exceed the output device s acceptable voltage range. Output devices rated 24V dc rarely are specified to operate below 19.2V dc or -20% of their 24V dc rating. Many only operate down to 20.4V dc or -15% of the rated voltage. This means that the DeviceNet network design must not allow the available voltage to drop below 19.2 volts, for example, instead of the 11 volts that the DeviceNet specification allows. This higher lower voltage limit which is within the DeviceNet specification will actually restrict the distance of the DeviceNet network from what would be possible if actuators were not utilizing the DeviceNet power IMPORTANT Design your network to make sure that sufficient voltage is available to operate the output device wherever it is installed. This is especially important when it is connected at the farthest location from the power supply. The DeviceNet common mode drop voltage specification limit of 10 volts, 5 volts in each power supply V+ and V- conductor, will never be a concern. This is because in the design process we start with a 24V dc power supply and allow for the 4% stack-up tolerance which leaves 23V dc to work with. From here we consider the output device s minimum required operating voltage of 19.2 volts. This gives 23V dc-19.2v dc = 3.8V dc for the common mode voltage or 1.9V dc in each conductor. This is far more restrictive than the 5 volts of the DeviceNet specification and will result in shorter allowable distances for the installation. 1

118 B-2 Power Output Devices Noise or Transient Protection The typical actuators used in DeviceNet control systems utilize inductive coils that generate transients when de-energized. You must use appropriate protection to suppress transients during coil de-energization. Add a diode across the inductive coil to suppress transients on the actuator s dc coils. Use a MOV varistor module suppressor for a 24V dc coil if this added drop out time with the diode is unacceptable. This varistor module must clamp the transient voltage across the coil at 55 volts to prevent the output contact from arcing on switch separation. Typical actuators used in DeviceNet control systems use inductive coils and limit current transients on energization by their inherent L/R time constant. Any transients due to contact bounce on energization will be suppressed by the transient protection utilized for coil de-energization. ATTENTION Do not use DeviceNet power on dc coil actuators that use economizing coils to operate. They have high inrush currents.
